    You really are one of the best educational music youtubers out there. You always keep it so simple, get straight to the point, explain your concepts clearly, and it's always so easily applicable even if we don't use the same DAW or plugins you do.

    Damn, it actually makes a lot of sense to start with vocals... As you said, it sets the arrangement in place, and then you just need to find chords and other sounds to add details/depth. I've always struggled with the arrangement, as it's my weak point, while designing sounds or composing notes is my strength. Will give it a try!

    If the general idea is to make the songs around a vocal melody, it would be nice to have some info on how to do that vocal melody. It kind of is the most central piece of the song. I wanna make the main attraction myself and not just use someone else's.

    yeah, he explains nothing... it's a "just do what i do and trust the process" type of tutorial, which is nice for "i need to do a quick x-style song for tonight" but not for actually learning why this is a house song and not a drum n'bass or hardstyle xD. Basically for each genre he does this is basically one single video that can be re-uploaded cause click-baity title
